"Installation Dir"

Okay, I've played this game since the day it was launched when it was all buggy and laggy =] I still loved it, but only issue is I deleted my account account after it failed to update on PTE and it wouldn't reinstall I have removed all traces of BFP4F so I'm not sure what's up..
I'm running Windows 7 OS W/ a high speed internet connection so lag is not a issue..
The error occurs when I attempt to install, after I agree to ToS And click install it states: " Checking installation..." then it stops and freezes and I end up with: "error failed: Installation dir" Searched the system for any "Installation dir" found a image file and deleted it, still download fails.
Any clues fellas?

Failed to write Registry value: Installation Dir
If you want to install/update the game, you need to do the following:

5. Be happy

If you "uninstalled" the game by deleting the game folder, you got into the trouble I mentioned above. You now need to manually delete the Registry values, in order to install the game again.

In that case, try the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive. Though it should normally be under LocalMachine.
Maybe, explain what your actual problem is. And if you have deleted the game folder, or just want to install the game for the first time and thus get the "Failed to write registry value" error (in that case you need to run your browser with administrative privileges)

Okay, my issue is when one of the updates happened the game failed to install the updates correctly and when it wouldn't reinstall i deleted all traces of BFP4F but obviously somethings left that I can't remove... So now I get that error after I click all the terms of service and start install...
this my other account but it wont install on this either...

Okay, could you copy and paste the following code into Notepad and save it as remove_bfp4f.reg. Afterwards, double-click the file and click "Yes" when it asks if you want to integrate the file into your registry.

Hi, sorry about the other topic,
I copied the code into my notepad and double clicked, and 'Yes', but it says that is impossible to import,that the specified file is not a registry script and I can only import binary registry files from registry editor

Is there any other way to download the game again is what i'm asking.
Thanks!

You shouldn't get this error, if you followed the steps from post #3 (or used the code provided in post #9).

Except the updater doesn't run with administrative privileges automatically:
